well I have not been in ur circumstance but that doesnt stop me from saying my 2 cents.
How long will you be staying at home?
why do you want to loose ur hsmp status... there is no gurarantee that if you reaaply at a later date you will be given..also there is no guarantee that the scheme will still be available when you are ready to reapply.
And even if you can reapply for the scheme and you get approved...the issue of EC comes up..how do you prove that you really are ready this time to migrate..when the last time you changed your mind half way.
My advise is get your extension before leaving, you have spent 9 months already.
You can apply for extension by the time you have spent 10 months , after you get your 3 yrs ext you can go home. Doing this keeps your options open rather than you leaving before extension time and not being able to come back.
I do not think you can apply for extension from your home country simply because you're supposed to want to make Uk your home (part of the requirement).
I hope the moderators can help out with their own opinion to shed more light on the issue.
My bow has been renewed
